Upload it There are many sites that do not like hotlinking (i.e.: GEOCITIES and DEVIANT ART.) Just stick to one of the above free image hosting sites. Signature InfoFirst off Gaia rules:
Rules & Guidelines
Image Postings:
Please keep signatures less than 500 pixels wide in both width and height, and a size of less than 100k. Ability to post signatures may be removed if you do not comply with a moderator's request to follow this standard.
Try to keep your images PG-13. Tasteful nudity in the art forums is allowed on a case-by-case basis, but on the whole, it is a good idea to cater to a range of audiences. This includes the very young.
Random Signature GeneratorsHere are a couple links to places that host the code:
RomeMy IMGs (ooo a host and random sig generater in one!)
CGI SpyHosting the Script Yourself You could use someone else's site OR you could host the random signature generator yourself (though I only suggest this for people who are familiar with php)!
First off you need a server that supports PHP.
Here are some free sites that have PHP support (or so I've read in the Q&F):
Hosting Anime Anime HostingHere is the code:
// Upload this file into a PHP enabled webserver, and save it as a .php file.
$links = array(
"http://URLofImage",
"http://URLofImage",
"http://URLofImage",
"http://URLofImage",
"http://URLofImage",
"http://URLofImage")
//replace with the URLs of your images between each set of quotations. Use as many sets of quotations as you want each
separated by a comma.
// Ignore everything after here
$howMany = count($links)
$randNumber = rand(1,$howMany)
header("Location: ".$links[$randNumber])
?>
After you have your images saved in to their image hosts you put the urls in the code above. Then save the code as something like "sig.php" And upload it to your PHP friendly host.
Then put the code in your signature:
[img]http://blah.com/sig.php[/img]
^ that should work, though I have not tested it out myself yet.
whee If you have any more to add to the list, please PM me or any of the Mods and we can add them. 3nodding
